Virus threat detected

[Nocternaldaze]

So not sure what is going on but everytime i start the game i see a popup stating virus threat detected, but it auto closes whilst the game is loading into menu, this is with norton antivirus.

Was thinking the same, but since installing the game i have had some weird things happening with pc, might be a coincidence though.

Edit: Only started experiencing this since i installed the new version.

Edit: Just to add for example i enter my emails and passwords for various sites and the minute i am logged in 2 seconds later i am logged out. My notepad when i click to close it, it keeps asking if i want to save it and no matter what i choose it won`t close unless i use taskmanger to end the task for notepad.

Contact norton with a false positive report

That is normally what a developer does is to contact them so they can verify if the files are safe or not. Which is why i originally posted.

Norton is bloatware garbage, dump that dumpster fire.

I get it free with my isp provider.

Edit: well it`s not supposed to be free but they haven`t charged me for it, which is why i use it.

I think people confuse a retail product with one that was designed and worked on by both the isp and norton, which is why the norton i am using has no bloatware built into it. I find too many people take note of content creators without realizing they only use retail versions and discuss those products.

It`s like content creators say dont game at 1080p on a 4k monitor it looks blurry, and yet i can game on a 4k monitor at 1080p with no blur or upscaling by simply changing screen resolution down to 1440p, whilst they keep the monitor at it`s native resolution.

Well thing is the popup closes so fast that i can only get a chance to see that it is vein that is being shown has a threat, so that in itself shows something isn`t right because the window should not close until i close it, so something is not right.
